This June we shared the grim update of our List of Refugee Deaths, now counting 66.519 people dead at the borders of Europe. For this reason we launched this year Campaign for World Refugee Day under the slogan UNITED Against Deadly Border Policies. In 2024 they were 60.620, meaning that more than six thousands people died because of the policies of Fortress Europe, because of our inhumane border policies, that are getting worse, in Europe and all over the world.

The goal of the Working Group is to strengthen our alliance, prepare for the challenges ahead, and stand united against border injustices.
What will the Working Group do?
โข Host online meetups with experts to educate members about the Pact.
โข Develop a shared roadmap for 2026 activities.
โข Compile reports on asylum seekersโ new conditions in Europe.
โข Create advocacy tools to support your local and policy work โ all grounded in solidarity and a commitment to human rights.
Who can join?
Everyone who is interested in contrasting this unjust policy and Not just EU members!
Fortress Europe doesnโt stop at EU borders โ and neither do we.
